on Friday was unconvincing, blaming others for his missteps: “Early in my tenure at the Court, I sought guidance from my colleagues and others in the judiciary, and was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the Court, was not reportable.”Maybe he should have looked at the text. The ethics rules do carve out an exemption for personal hospitality.
a “facility.” But if you did, you’d have to deal with this provision, specifying that “any food, lodging or entertainment received as personal hospitality of an individual need not be reported.
“That this is not the sort of gift thought likely to affect a judge’s impartiality is suggested by the fact that the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 …, excludes from this requirement transportation provided by the United States,” Scalia wrote. Indeed, Thomas himself apparently used to think Crow-paid travel was, in fact, “reportable.” In 1997, Crow flew Thomas on his plane to the exclusive
because he had failed to list his wife’s employment with the Heritage Foundation and Hillsdale College “due to a misunderstanding of the filing instructions.” Seriously? The instructions aren’t difficult: You don’t have to report the amount of your spouse’s income, but you do have to say who’s writing the check.
It's time for the bidens to come clean
Can’t use the race card can you.
It's incomprehensible that a supreme Court judge does not understand that the gifts he got from the billionaire is not ethically correct. Really ? Thomas?
Thomas didn’t do anything wrong. The Biden Crime Family on the other hand…
He wasn't misinformed, he was misinforming.
The left hates him and will do anything to smear him.
Why are the Democrats coming after this black man!?!
Why? Because he's Black?
He is not going to do that. He is corrupt.
So what if he has a rich friend.
he's as clean as dirt
Fire him
It’s time for Clarence Thomas to leave the Supreme Court
Yeh but can’t we go back to talking about how George Soros is corrupting the court?
be careful what you ask for;Ketanji Brown Jackson, has a lot of dark money supporting her;Anti government groups fund her with many things; Liberals R more guilty of perks from donors then conservative so both R guilty;I am for a complete ban on lobbyist;U can't serve 2 masters
Leave him alone. He has a right to have friends with or without money. RIDICULOUS ATTACK JEALOUS ATTACK.
It’s way way way past time for the WashPost to come clean about its secret connections to and dependency on the CIA.
Life is HIGHSCHOOL!! The hall pass guy will fall for the Teacher’s weird pet girl! SORRY!!Someone had to say it!
I agree as soon as Joe and Nancy tell us how many $millions they've received from China 🇨🇳.
I know Twitter accelerates News Point but haven't you guys beat this drum long enough?
Fire him
Washington Post, Incase you run out of toilet paper.
Its time for Biden to come clean.
The sport of DCelites lynching ClarenceThomas these time wanting him to resign before Biden is finished. Big game the so called liberals are playing in front of our eyes.
Issue isn't just about nature of hospitality, how lavish/small. Courts' independence is measured by it's proximity with Parliament (Political influence. Direct Or Agent). Separation Of Power doctrine demands of Courts to perform duties at arms length to lawmakers & their agents.
it’s time to impeach corrupt justices
What else has he been misinformed about - THE LAW Not only a cheat but also a LIAR! For someone who is a member of the highest court in the country, he is a total disgrace and should be fired immediately - what are the other judges doing about it
No, it’s time for Uncle Remus to go.
Since you all want to play this game, Obama next.
I love when the liberal media goes after him because he goes super hard in the courts afterwards y’all better get ready for some pain hahaha
It's time Joe Biden came clean
So it is ok for Pelosi and Congress to make millions off insider trading but not ok for a Supreme Court justice to take a vacation with a wealthy friend
The REAL RACISTS can't stand it when they can't control a black man who thinks for himself. They're after him like he's a runaway slave...go ahead Dems, put on your white sheets and pointed hats like your grandfathers and go get him
fu
He needs to ho to jail
Ruth only says that because he’s black
donnabrazile The Senate Judiciary Committee should launch an immediate investigation... and mandate a Supreme Court ethics code. ⚖️ SupremeCourtEthicsCode
If this was a liberal African American you would be screaming to high heaven this was racial have you no shame
It’s time for Clarence Thomas to resign.
CT & Ginni = 🤮🤮
Very proud that Justice Thomas CAN DEFINE what a woman is unlike other justices.
donnabrazile love Judge Thomas! He's the best....
He’s so dirty it might take years!
He is clean
The last time Demonrats went after a black man this bad they were wearing white sheets.
BEST SCOTUS JUSTICE EVER!! 🇺🇲♥️
racist!!!!!
donnabrazile It's time for him to retire! The other Justices should urge him to leave before he completely destroys our tottering faith in SCOTUS
Resign. It’s time for Clarence Thomas to resign ** Fixed it for you.
It's time for your bias journalists to be replaced by objective journalist. Of course I know the Washington ComPost doesn't know what the word 'objective' means!
Synopsis-Ruth Marcus Qunt: Quote '.. All justices accept trips with travel and lodging reimbursed, and that is not a bad thing. Teaching law students, attending bar conferences, giving lectures ... paid for by friends who share their political and ideological outlook ...'
Is she calling for Biden to come clean too ?
Clarence Thomas is much more cleaner than Biden, Obama, Clintons, Pelosi, and you. He is an American hero. He is a true African American intellectual. You hate him because he is smart and ethical.
It's time to rid the courts of corruption by dismantling the current one and replacing it with a new court the people will trust. This court is corrupt.
Nothing threatens the Party more than a black man who thinks for himself.
Pretty sure he cleans up every day ! Why are you racist ?
Biden family first...
Apparently, he was trying to get away from her
How modest. It’s time for Clarence to be impeached. For the others on the bench they should be an investigation to see who else have been doing it. I don’t believe he’s the only one.
is this some kind of racist trope?
Clarence Thomas and his wife have destroyed the court.
donnabrazile Yes, also time for his wife to be held accountable for January 6, involvement!!🤥🤥🤥
Jail
This is a clear effort on the parts of the media to remove the BLACK, CONSERVATIVE from the Court. Nothing else. He's doing nothing that justifies one minute's further consideration UNLESS you can find a case which was potentially affected by it. F-ing Media RACISTS, ALL
CheriJacobus He won't, because he can't be forced to. USSupremeCourt
Just remember Ruth, opinions are like a$$holes, everyone’s got one and they usually stink!!
donnabrazile Well I am waiting for the Clinton’s and Obama’s to come clean.
Lol. He has rich friends just like the Obama's and Biden's.
If a supreme Court judge is corrupt is there a future for democracy in the US?
It's time for the party of slavery and Jim Crow to admit that they hate a courageous, intelligent, conservative black man more than anything in the world, and will go to ANY length to destroy him!
Arrest them first.
Veger70 The ONLY 2 options left for Clarence Thomas are to retire or get IMPEACHED. He should plan on being investigated as well ENOUGH IS ENOUGH HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
Washington post lies.
If a compromised judge is pushed to the top of Judiciary, it hurts all sides.
He did. Knock it off
sue him.
No it’s time for him to resign or be removed!
😂😂Ummm…he did. Close friends for decades. Easily refuted, can conclude it’s true since you don’t…instead continue pretending something nefarious going on. He’s like Clinton and Epstein…taking rides with a close friend, except Thomas’s friend doesn’t sex traffic young girls
Blatant act of racism. If Clarence Thomas was white there would be no way this is happening.
Economic collapse and the brink of WW3 and people are sweating clarence thomas? Are the wine moms all done with george santos?
He needs to be impeached and removed from the bench. Along with the other two, that lied to congress. Those are offenses are impeachable. The court needs to be changed to rotate every 10 years.
He didn't say he was 'misinformed,' he said he was informed. He followed the rules as they were at the time. The rules recently changed and he said he would abide by the new rules. Seriously, this is a nothing story.
It’s also time for him to go!!!🤬
Come clean with what? He’s nakedly fascist and corrupt lol
CheriJacobus Yes, crooks generally just do that on their own accord. Just start confessing because we mildly shame them.
It’s Time for Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family to come Clean!!! It’s Time for Insider Trader Pelosi to come Clean!! It’s Time for Compulsive LIAR Schifty Schiff to come Clean!!! It’s Time for Swallwell to come Clean on what Information he gave to the Chinese Whore!!!
How? He is a disgrace and now a crook. He should resign.
More racist attacks on successful black men by WAPO
CheriJacobus It's time - long PAST time - for him to resign! And find out just how much of 'dear friend' Crow really is after he's no longer a vote in his favor on SCOTUS.
Oh please, you scumbag fake journalist never run stories are the real corruption in DC. - DEMOCRATS. Have you ran a story about Biden coming clean, we know there’s numerous crimes there
Here we go AGAIN, America…this NEXT Democrat’s Vendetta will be to persecute (Get Rid Of)..a ‘Conservative’ Supreme Court Justice; by the name of Clarence Thomas!!! Watch + See, Voters!
Ridiculous: It details no violations of ethics rules or law by Justice Thomas. The rhetoric is the only thing credible, as per usual! That is the point, because there is no there, there!
Come clean? The only recourse here is resignation.
No, it’s time for him to resign.
fakenews No crime, no ethics violation Next….
VERIFIED:Clarence Thomas’s billionaire benefactor collects Hitler artifacts. Including two of his paintings of European cityscapes, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, and assorted Nazi memorabilia,& a garden of statues of the 20th century’s worst despots. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY PARTY?
CheriJacobus It’s time for the Supreme Court to clean house.
Yeah, as soon as the Washington Post comes clean about who MURDERED DNC staffer Seth Rich, his murder is still unsolved, for OBVIOUS REASONS!
😂 😂 😂 Say who? The fakenews ?
The Nazi drumbeat to remove a black man from the court marches on
And go away and retire.
Wow, gonna crucify Thomas over a vacation and praise the 3 insurrectionist in Tennessee. What a fuck*d up world.
Dream on
Ha! He’s been lying since at least 1991
It's time for his insurrectionist wife to come clean, too. I'm sure there's a deal in there, somewhere.
The only way Clarence Thomas can come clean is to resign. It’s bad enough he was obviously incompetent but now he’s obviously corrupt and incompetent. ResignClarenceThomas
When is the impeachment of this very corrupt 'justice'?
Hes just trying to save money to get one of those 85k paintings from Hunter
The whole point of the supreme court is to not be answerable to the people This is so obviously a public pressure campaign to facilitate a power grab Just say no to commies
Democrats love when they can crush a Black man publicly. They can reminisce about their good old days when they enslaved Blacks and ran the KKK. A Black man is only worth something to them if he stays in line with the Democrats.
Did you say that to Bob Mendez?
The problem with becoming a partisan mouth piece is that only people from your team need to answer to you.
The Republicans nominated Thomas to the court as an insult to the legacy and memory of Justice Thurgood Marshall. He has not disappointed them. Crass, arrogant, and mendacious, he is as pure a reflection of their cynicism as ever existed.
There is nothing clean under that dirty robe.
,
But you let Pelosi off the hook, right?
It is time for Joe Biden and all the corrupt democrats to come clean.
Nice try AKA National Enquirer lol
Are Clarence and Jinni are at Walmart this morning?
It’s time for the Washington Post to stop pleasuring Democrats.
It’s time for him to resign!
Past time.
Thomas is actually a far lefty and only rules for the righties because his friend brings him on vacation. Knew it!
Why is the Washington Post attacking the only black male on scotus? This is racist.
